Have you tried making chicken wings in the slow cooker? They come out moist and succulent, with the meat practically falling off the bone. After cooking, the skin can be crisped up under a hot broiler, so you get a wonderful textural contrast, together with all the fantastic flavors from the marinade.

Regarding carb count, this recipe is practically zero. The wings themselves are zero, and if you added the marinade it would come out as 4g net carbs per serving. But as the marinade isn't added to the wings when you serve them, hardly any of the carbs from the marinade will actually be consumed.

How to Make Asian Style Slow Cooked Chicken Wings

Start by preparing the chicken wings. Like I mentioned when I cooked the Red Thai Curry Chicken Wings, I'm no butcher, but I follow a basic procedure: Each wing gets split into three pieces, using some sharp kitchen shears. The wing tips get discarded, leaving the wingettes and drumettes (I think they're called)!

Mix up the marinade by combining the following: soy sauce (or tamari, if you prefer), lime juice, red pepper flakes, sweetener (eg Lakanto – get 20% off if you use coupon code SAFTC), garlic paste and black pepper.

I make the marinade in a separate bowl but you could easily make it in the slow cooker bowl too! Add everything to the slow cooker or an Instant Pot with slow cooker feature. I love my little 3 quart slow cooker – it is perfect for this recipe!

Cook for about 2½ hours on high. You can serve them super soft right out of the slow cooker, but I prefer the skin to be crispy. If you do too, place the wings on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and place under a broiler for 5-10 minutes until crisped up to the desired amount.

Serve with chopped fresh cilantro, chopped green onions and extra red pepper flakes.
